this is a TERRIBLE program! here are several things that are wrong with the programming:
1) the software is buggy – when you undo the bids to redo the bidding, the program often doesn’t show you the bidding box, leaving you no choice but to deal a new hand.
2) the program doesn’t show you everyone’s hand at the end, so you can’t analyze what should have happened
3) the ‘tutor’ plays like a beginner – it takes all the tricks off the top – doesn’t know how to set up tricks or set up transportation.
4) the online portion doesn’t appear to let you simply watch games, in order to learn, as other online programs do (you know, the ones that only support windows…)
5) the bidding box is cumbersome – it takes 2 clicks to make a bid, rather than just one, and God forbid you make a mistake! especially on-line, there doesn’t appear to be a way to alert you opponents and ask to correct the bid.

Received this as a Christmas gift and was very disappointed. It isn’t anywhere near as good as Omar Sharif’s Bridge for Windows. Now I’m wondering how much of a mistake I made in buying an Apple laptop!

I have had this for years. My son bought it for me. When I got it, I had to pay for it again and the game still wouldn’t let me change the ‘dummies’ from playing stupid. If you were taking the trick with an ace, you partner played a king. Very frustrating. I emailed the game and they couldn’t help me. Very expensive for all that frustration.

I guess I misjudged what this product was about. I wanted some honest to goodness bridge practice. From the goofy characters to the off the wall bidding and rank beginner play, this bridge game is a flop.

My husband and I have probably played this game solo for hundreds and hundreds of hours over the past 5 years. It’s much more fun with the 3-D characters as opposed to a horrid graph, and they make some pretty sharp, funny comments. Visitors get addicted too, if we let them play. It is a great way to learn and enjoy the game at any level unless you are an expert who cannot forgive a drunk opponent on occasion.
I can’t wait to receive the upgrade!
